UPDATE (Oct. 26, 2010; 11:30 a.m.): This post has been modified to include petitions that have been re-listed for the Conference of October 29.

This edition of “Petitions to watch” features cases up for consideration at the Justices’ October 29 conference.  These are petitions raising issues that Tom has determined have a reasonable chance of being granted, although we post them here without consideration of whether they present appropriate vehicles in which to decide those issues.
